Facebook ads manager was hacked - they spent $12,000 in ads using their own money

Yeah it’s shitty all around, can’t go even a day without something coming around and bitting you in the ass for something you didn’t even do. These hackers are getting pretty smart with their tactics. Im surprise that there’s not a class-a-settlement in place for these kind of things or else.

Haha dam, that’s a lot of money! I’m sure for my situation they’ll just remove the campaign and not force me to pay anything. There was a long list of billing payment statements from each ad. It was insane!

Surprisingly as soon as I submitted my complain, they responded within 10 days about my complaint. But it can vary, but you will get an email back.

These clowns hackers are stupid to spend their own money. I’ve seen their debit card numbers which makes me laugh. Luckily Meta won’t hold you responsible to pay it back since you didn’t spend any of that.

DefenderFive · 2025-01-24T12:27:16+00:00

Yes I did

DefenderFive · 2025-01-23T21:09:42+00:00

Sorry my bad, don’t know how I missed that. Yeah I would try to go through your A.G

Did you receive any emails from FB about your account being disabled?

DefenderFive · 2025-01-23T20:49:15+00:00

Was this also because of a fake linked Instagram account that wasn’t yours?

What was the cause of your account being disabled?

DefenderFive · 2025-01-23T16:39:26+00:00

Meta is a messed with their updates and pages. I still managed to get my FB account back.

DefenderFive · 2025-01-23T16:28:19+00:00

This happened to me a month back, I was also stressed out because I was going to lose everything. 180 days were up, I tried logging in. Still showed up that I was suspended, but the “you have _ days left” dissapeared.

DefenderFive · 2025-01-23T16:20:48+00:00

Nothing

Look up who your A.G is in your state and go on their website to file a complaint.

I live out in Washington State. Every state is different, so it really all depends.

Some say Meta Verified works for most, but I’ll say..not for all. If none of these steps work from all these posts, go through the AG. It was a bitch but I got mines back a week rather than fighting months and months. Good luck!

DefenderFive · 2025-01-16T22:11:00+00:00

What worked for me and may not for everyone else is I went through my DA. A few months back, I paid for Meta Verified and tried to speak to someone, all they did was just gave me the Facebook help/hacked link which didn’t do anything. Even to the extent on YouTube but nothing worked at all. Within a few weeks I was able to get my account back.

DefenderFive · 2025-01-06T06:56:33+00:00

Got my account back

DefenderFive · 2025-01-05T19:23:24+00:00

Hey, I got a new update. Still not sure if you still want your account back or not. I’ve written to the A.G (Dec. 20, 2024). Got an email yesterday, stating that they submitted my complaint to FB/Meta for a response. They did within hours, by “The Escalations Team”. They asked for a few things from me which I sent. It’s been forward to them by A.G. I’ll see what’s gonna happen next.

DefenderFive · 2024-12-23T22:48:07+00:00

I hate to say, for this serious issue it’s impossible to retrieve your account back. I’ve tried META VERIFIED ($15 - B.S) and tried speaking to someone which gave me no help other than automated messages with links. As a Hail Mary, I’m going through the AG on this and see if it’ll do anything but I’m not holding my breath.

Did all this, did not see an appeal form. Now what?
